Fall River, MAssachusetts. The first victim was found beneath the high school bleachers. The petite teenage girl was bound at the wrists and ankles with fishing twine. She'd been stabbed and bludgeoned.
The local papers published details of the horror, but withheld that the crime was committed by more than one person via torture and death by stoning. it took two more grisly murders before the people of FAll River realized that an organized underworld of ritualistic terror was at work in their picturesque town.
